Abstract
Conventional gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) for detecting matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), a biomarker associated with dry eye disease and cancer, often suffer from limited sensitivity. To address this, we developed an ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based LFIA using plasmonic yolk-shell-satellite nanostructures (YSSNs) functionalized with bifunctional 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) as SERS tags. The YSSNs, composed of a gold nanorod core enclosed by a gold nanocage and decorated with satellite nanoparticles, provided strong SERS enhancement. MPBA not only acted as a robust Raman reporter but also improved the orientation of antibodies. The SERS-LFIA achieved a limit of detection of 0.0056 ng·mL-1 in PBS, a 305-fold improvement over conventional AuNP-LFIA, and demonstrated favorable linear detection in biological samples, with limits of 0.051 ng·mL-1 in serum and 0.030 ng·mL-1 in tears. This assay offers a sensitive and reliable platform for MMP-9 detection and has great potential for disease diagnostics.
期刊介绍:
Analytical Chemistry, a peer-reviewed research journal, focuses on disseminating new and original knowledge across all branches of analytical chemistry. Fundamental articles may explore general principles of chemical measurement science and need not directly address existing or potential analytical methodology. They can be entirely theoretical or report experimental results. Contributions may cover various phases of analytical operations, including sampling, bioanalysis, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, microscale and nanoscale systems, environmental analysis, separations, spectroscopy, chemical reactions and selectivity, instrumentation, imaging, surface analysis, and data processing. Papers discussing known analytical methods should present a significant, original application of the method, a notable improvement, or results on an important analyte.
